Thruster magnetic system consisted of 7 coils: 1 inner coil, 4 outer coils and 2 trim coils. Trim coils where located behind the anode and proved to be able to provide magnetic field gradient sign change in the vicinity of the anode Magnetic system was designed to provide required level of radial magnetic field strength for wide range of working regime parameters without magnetic saturation in any magnetic system part. Magnetic lens was designed to be highly symmetric about thruster channel centerline, and has slight inclination to thruster centerline, in order to reduce plume divergence.

100wpl

Two coils configuration was used for the 100W thruster design. All the coils were connected in series to reduce the control and power supply requirements.

Capable to deliver thrust as low as 50W.
